Do the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere experience the same season at the same time?

No, the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere do not experience the same season at the same time. To understand why this is so, one must understand that the earth sits on a tilted axis relative to the sun. The earth rotates around this axis throughout the year, causing one hemisphere to face the sun more directly, leading to more sunlight in that hemisphere, and longer days. At the same time, the other hemisphere is located further from the sun, leading to less sunlight, and shorter, colder days. In this example, if it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, then it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. In regions very close to the equator, very little change is seen in temperature or in the amount of sunlight these regions receive over the course of the year. As such, these regions experience roughly the same amount of sunlight and warm temperatures year round.

Hope this helps!
